Has anyone reported a time for Bush's speech tonight? I'm very afraid he's going to ruin Friday Night Lights for me.

ETA: Looks like 9pm ET. I might be in the clear.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

R.I.P Lily Munster:

Known to Sondheim fans for inspiring (and debuting) "I'm Still Here."

My favorite thing by her is the film noir Criss Cross with Burt Lancaster. Gawd, she was beautiful.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just read that. I had no idea.

How could you not? From what I heard he wrote the song specifically for her after she talked about her long career in show biz from beauty queen to Lily Munster to singing opera at the Hollywood bowl.

I was minus five when Follies opened!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's quite possible that my frustrated urges to stab Jack Black with toothpicks (see, Jesse? That's a lot of stabbing from my essence right there)

Ha.

Poor Puffy Vince. Although, in my head, Puffy Vince is also Approachable Vince, so I don't mind so much. (Puffy Vince looks like a guy I could actually go out with, I mean. Of course, I used to know a woman who actually did go out with skinny, pre-"Vince" Vinny, but that's neither here nor there.)

I got a hair cut as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Recruiters are weird. Just got off of a pre-interview, where I was asked for my interpretation of paragraphs of their end-client's philosophy document.

Out of three it seems I missed one (although I mitigated it by placing it into a larger context, distract, distract, smile), nailed one, and knocked one out of the park.

It's interesting how much stress is being put on company culture in the hiring process. Company A spent a lot of time sharing theirs with me, and Company B spent a lot of time ensuring I was a match for theirs.

Four years ago it never came up.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

At home we've been having a problem with a light bulb flickering in the lamp. The light bulb was replaced yesterday and the lamp still flickered this morning. I have had my phone off all day and just turned it on to read this text message:

"The lamp was the problem. I know this because the new bulb exploded, the lamp made a sound like a blender, fire shot out of the switch, embers fell to the floor, and smoke filled the room."

I think the lamp was the problem.

I think you might just be right about that! Commendations to the investigator on his report and bravery in the face of lamp self-immolation.
